Advocacy Day

JPAC Advocacy Day 2018
May 14-15, 2018

JPAC’s annual May Advocacy Day is the culminating effort of months of research, lobbying, coalition building and convening to bring concerned citizens from the Jewish community to Sacramento to meet with key legislators and staff on issues that impact our community, whether it is seniors living on SSI/SSP, early childhood education, or anti-Semitism. Together we can make the voice of the Jewish community heard where it counts.

Advocacy Day provides opportunities to experience the thrill of being in the State Capitol with the largest coalition of Jewish organizations in the nation; meet elected officials and engage in meaningful conversations with them; hear from issue experts and legislators on cutting edge issues facing Californians, and; network with colleagues and friends from around California.

JPAC Advocacy Days have featured speakers including State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, former Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, former Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, State Controller John Chiang, Senate President pro Tem Kevin de Leon, former UC President Mark Yudof, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, and California Attorney general Xavier Becerra.
